+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
+(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product glib.) You will need
+to create an account for yourself.
+
+In the bug report please include:
+
+* Information about your system. For instance:
+
+ - What operating system and version
+ - For Linux, what version of the C library
+
+ And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* How to reproduce the bug.
+
+ If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built
+ in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
+ please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
+ As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
+ of software that can be downloaded.
+
+* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
+ when the crash occured.
+
+* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
+ is not necessary.
+
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the
+patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment
+to that bug report.
+
+Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
+and attach the patch to that bug report.
+
+Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -up option to GNU diff.)
+
+Release notes for 3.8
+=====================
+
+* GtkIconInfo has changed from being a boxed type to a GObject. This
+ is technically an ABI change, but basically all existing code
+ will keep working if its used as a boxed type, and its not
+ possible to instantiate GtkIconInfos outside Gtk, so this is not
+ expected to be a big problem.
+
+Release notes for 3.6
+=====================
+
+* The accessibility bridge code that exports accessible objects
+ on the bus is now used by default; atk-bridge has been converted
+ into a library that GTK+ links against. To void the linking,
+ pass --without-atk-bridge when configuring GTK+.
+
+* GDK threading support has been deprecated. It is recommended to
+ use g_idle_add(), g_main_context_invoke() and similar funtions
+ to make all GTK+ calls from the main thread.
+
+* GTK+ now follows the XDG Base Directory specification for
+ user configuration and data files. In detail,
+ * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/custom-papers is the new location
+ for $HOME/.gtk-custom-papers
+ * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/bookmarks is the new location
+ for $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks
+ * $XDG_DATA_HOME/themes is preferred over $HOME/.themes
+ * $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons is preferred over $HOME/.icons.
+ Existing files from the old location will still be read
+ if the new location does not exist.
+
+* $HOME/.gtk-3.0 is no longer in the default module load path.
+ If you want to load modules from there, add it to the GTK_PATH
+ environment variable.
+
+Release notes for 3.4
+=====================
+
+* Scroll events have been separated from button events, and smooth
+ scrolling has been added with a separate event mask. Widgets now
+ need to have either GDK_SCROLL_MASK or GDK_SMOOTH_SCROLL_MASK in
+ their event mask to receive scroll events. In addition, the
+ GdkScrollDirection enumeration has gained a new member,
+ GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH, so switch statements will have to be amended
+ to cover this case.
+
+* GTK+ now uses <Primary> instead of <Control> in keyboard accelerators,
+ for improved cross-platform handling. This should not affect
+ applications, unless they parse or create these accelerator
+ manually.
+
+* The tacit assumption that the Alt key corresponds to the MOD1
+ modifier under X11 is now a hard requirement.
+
+* The beagle search backend for the file chooser has been dropped.
+ Tracker is the only supported search backend on Linux now.
+
+* GtkNotebook has been changed to destroy its action widgets when
+ it gets destroyed itself. If your application is using action
+ widgets in notebooks, you may have to adjust your code to take
+ this into account.
+
+* GtkApplication no longer uses the gtk mainloop wrappers, so
+ it is no longer possible to use gtk_main_quit() to stop it.
+
+* The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
+
+* Excessive dependencies have been culled from Requires: lines
+ in .pc files. Dependent modules may have to declare dependencies
+ that there were getting 'for free' in the past.
+
